The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。Jake对自己将进入初三而深感不安，Charlie和Alan跟他说了他们各自如梦魇般的初三生活，这让事情变得更糟。那些故事对Jake产生了很大的负面影响，以至于在上学的第一天他就从校车上下来，逃回家躲起来。最终，Charlie和 Alan意识到他们告诉Jake的那些故事是他们自己的担忧，而却把这些担忧传递给Jake 。他们俩决定教会Jake如何应对自己的恐惧，但是事情却没有像他们计划的那般。。
